This method is especially adaptedto the accompanying drawings, in which be employed in the waving of longhair, as shown, Figure 1 is a diagrammatic view of a person's but may beused on hair which is shorter than head showing the manner in which thehair is that shown in the drawings. The hair of the head divided intosections and each section is divided, is formed into tress blocks one ata time, beginin turn, into blocks defining tress blocks which hing withsection I in the left center of the foreare tobe waved; head andextending into. the successive tress Figure 2 is a schematic frontelevation of a blocks 2, 3, 4 and 5 which are waved in a manner personshead showing some of the tress block to be presently described; afterwhich tress blocks sections not shown in Figure 1; 6 to 9, inclusive,are formed, and then tress blocks Figure 3 is a view showing the hairparted II to 14, inclusive, and then tress blocks l5 to 20, inclusive,and then tress blocks are again divided out and waved from 2| to 26,inclusive, and, then beginning with 21, the hair is divided into tressblocks up through tress block 32. Then beginning with the front block33, the tress blocks are formed and waved through section 38, and. thentress blocks 39 to 55, inclusive, are waved. The drawings indicate howone side of the head of hair is waved, and the other side is waved in anidentical manner and a description of the same will not be given.

After the middle part 66 is formed, one side of the head, let us say,the hair on the right-hand side of the head is tucked up and pinned inposition indicated at 6|. Then, the hair in tress block I is separatedfrom the other hair as shown in Figure 4, and is saturated with a wavesetting solution, and then it is twisted into a rope like form indicatedat 62 in Figure 5. Then, the twisted strands of hair are doubled uponthemselves as at 63 and wound around the strand as at 64, being on theunderneath side of the strand and extending from front to rear, and thenthe strands of hair are brought forwardly over the looped portionsindicated at 65 and 66, or forwardly, as indicated at 61. Then the tressblock or twisted strand of hair is wound spirally around the doubledportions 65 and B6 in successive steps or into spirals 61 to 14',inclusive, or

until all of the hair whichis not doubled back hair wave. These twooperations of winding the lambs wool 80 around the tip portion of thespiral winds are indicated in Figures 12 and 13.

' When the block has thusbeen lwound, it is .pinned in a position, suchas shown in Figure 14,

where the tress block is indicated at l, to correspond with the sectionI on the chart of the head. This operation is repeated for all of thesubstantially rectangular portions shown in Figures 1 and 2 in the orderthere indicated until the entire side of the head has been wound and.waved and pinned into the positions shown in Figure 15. Then, the otherside of the head is treated in an identical manner and the waved batchesof hair are allowed to remain in the position shown in Figure 15 untilthe curls and waves have been set, at which time the hair is unwound andcombed in the usual manner.

It is thus seen that by treating the various tress blocks in the mannershown and described, that a permanent wave can be applied to the hairconstituting the tress blocks without the need of any instrumentalitiesonto which the 4 strands of hair are wound and which will give a veryattractive wave to the hair with ringlets on the tip ends of the hair.

It should also be observed that this method differs radically from othermethods wherein elongated rectangles constitute the tress blocks,whereas a great many more tress blocks are formed in the present methodand all of these tress blocks constitute sections of hair which arepractically square and not elongated as has heretofore been thepractice, thus dividing the hair into more than twice as many tress:blocks as have heretofore been used, and thus leaving a much morepermanent and much more attractive wave than has heretofore beenaccomplished by other methods. a

In the drawings and specification there has been set forth a. preferredembodiment of the invention, and although specific terms are employed,they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only, and not forpurposes of limitation, the scope of the invention being defined. in theclaims.

I claim: V

1. That method of imparting a permanent wave to hair which comprisesdividing the hair into a plurality of relatively small and substantiallysquare tress blocks one at a time and applying a wave setting solutionto the hair of a tress block, twisting the hair of a tress block aplurality of times, and then doubling a medial portion of the hairbackwardly upon itself to near the roots of the hair, then spirallywinding the remaining hair around the two doubled portions of hair untilall of the free ends of the hair have been wound spirally around thedoubled portion of the hair, then securing the hair against unwinding.

2. That method of imparting a, permanent (wave to the hair on a humanhead which comprises successively separating relatively small andsubstantially square sections of the hair from the other hair one at atime, impregnating the separated hair with a wave setting solution,imparting a twist to the hair, then doubling that portion of thehairadjacent the roots thereof backupon itself and winding the free endof the twisted hair spirally around the doubled back portions tosubstantially encircle the doubled back portions and then confining thefree ends REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in thefile of this patent:
